Upgrading a single Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Director 2/128 blade

Although it is possible to upgrade firmware on one CP blade at a time, not do so under normal
circumstances, because it might disrupt switch operations if it is not executed in the proper sequence, or if
the version of firmware is down-level and part of an unsupported version.
When the two CP blades are not running the same firmware versions, it might be necessary to disable
one or the other blades to maintain fabric stability. For information on the commands used to achieve this,
see the haDisable and haFailover commands in the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command
reference guide.
The following procedure allows you to upgrade a single CP blade. This procedure can be used with
Fabric OS 4.0.0d and later.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the haShow command to determine which CP blade is the active CP and which one is the
standby CP. In the following example, the active CP blade is CP0, and the standby CP blade is CP1:
switch:admin> hashow
Local CP (Slot 5, CP0): Active
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP1): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State in sync
3. Log in to the standby CP blade as admin.
4. Issue the following command to upgrade a new version of the firmware to the standby CP blade:
firmwaredownload -s
5. Enter the IP address of the FTP server where the firmware is stored.
6. Enter your user name for the server.
